There is beauty in the margins. Interested in exploring, questioning my assumptions, and I stand corrected.

Like art, math, Alaskan politics, wild places, and the kindness of strangers.

Was @SupposeNot on the bird app, and am on mastodon.social.

A student sent me a message today thanking me for having a part of my syllabus explicitly welcoming kids in the classroom if childcare falls through, on top of already having classes all available on zoom. Said it was the most supported as a parent they'd felt during their time as a student.

My dream is for every university to have an early childhood teaching lab where people getting their early childhood degrees can do their practicum hours while provide childcare for staff and students

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Was hoping it was about fascism...

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I keep repeating it because its insane to me but the idea of invading or acquiring Greenland for missile defense is insane because we already have access to it for our missile defense

The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

WELL worth the read!

A funny, tragic, hilarious and thought provoking article about all those boring sounding government agencies and how they make all our lives so much better.

Also, she does a great job of capturing all the invisible good we take for granted that Trump and MAGA are destroying.
if you want a long read that involves udders, a hot air balloon, and some extremely dubious data on egg prices, the story I’ve been working on for the last few months where I tried to single-handedly take on every government function myself is now online! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Insanity.

First, we invade Greenland?

Then, presumably, Demark annexes Alaska? (Or Puerto Rico?)

Isn’t there anyone with any sense in the current administration, that can say maybe we SHOULDN’T talk about invading our allies?

AK delegation, perhaps?

Accountability is the guardrail. Remove it, and democracy slides fast.
The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.
